"Travel broadens the mind", as the saying goes.
Do you think that the more you travel, the more open-minded you become ?

Tell us !



(I actually ask this question because it was the subject on my english blank exam today so I want to see if people would have said like I did lol)

I am not so sure that travel broadens the mind but experience does.

You could have traveled the world and still be shallow and closed minded. Its life experience that gives the mind sense

I didn't think about that but it's a brilliant point you made.
I said it does because you discover new cultures, values and way of lifes which are different from your country so it makes you more tolerant. Also, you may see things differently in your life.

That's what I said overall but it's not all, I had to write 800 words in 3 hours lol

I don't know whether visiting countries has broadened my mind. I can say I enjoyed each and every country I went to and made the most of it.

I have visted six countries; over the years.(france/america/italy/mexico/spain & tenerife) I am more than happy to leave the uk and enjoy a wonderful warm country and just relax in the sunshine.

I haven't done a great deal of sightseeing; as it doesn't really appeal to myself much; or the mates I go with who are just looking for a good time getting drunk and sobering up in the sun. when we have done it; I personally have certainly enjoyed the experience and have seen many interesting places. (magic mountain/knotsbury farm/sea world/universal studios & disneyland) was what I visited in america. (canne/nice/montecarlo/paris & lyon) in france. (pisa/ventimiglia and sampled the best ice cream I have ever tasted; yum) in italy. (tijuana) in mexico.(barcelona/madrid/salou) in spain. with tenerife; I took a trip around the whole island. I guess I learnt a lot overall. I don't regret doing it and even though the majority was sunning myself with mates and eyeing up the women and relaxing in a new environment; the tourism was great too.

apart from getting coach-sick on a couple of occasions. both times (on) the coach.

I've travelled to many a place and yes i think travel can make you more open-minded.Some of the things you see can also make you more narrow-minded.
